MAKE ME CLOSER TO GOD.

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: MAKE ME CLOSER TO GOD.

Repentance and faith are two sides of the same coin.
Many familiar verses on salvation refer to faith, because unbelief is the primary sin that separates men from God (John 3:16; Ephesians 2:8; Rom. 10:13).
The New Testament Greek term for "believe" is an action word.

Salvation requires more than mere intellectual assent to Jesus' existence.
Trusting Christ as your Savior gives you a new beginning (2 Cor. 5:17).
Moving closer to God or knowing God require repentance, and
Repentance isn't "trying harder." Apart from the mercy and grace of the Lord, you can't truly "clean up" your life
Receiving Christ as your personal Savior includes acknowledging your sinfulness before God, there is this important things to do, and that is to surrender all to God.
Surrender is the key to genuine repentance. Ask yourself, have you surrender all... Yes all?

Confession means we agree with God that our sin is wrong. Without surrender, there will be no repentant spirit, and the person is likely to commit the sin again.
The Lord forgives our wrongdoing if we confess it (Proverbs 28:13; 1 John 1:9).
We must be willing to walk away from what God says is sin. By continuing in rebellion or settling for second best, we're saying we don't really trust Him.

Conclusion: Through confessing in a spirit of repentance, we can be freed from the power of sin. Sincerely surrender your life to the Lord, and He will conform you into the image of Christ. You'll be free to experience His best!

LET US PRAY
FATHER IN JESUS NAME, LORD LET YOUR SAVING GRACE BE EXTENDED TO ME AND MY FAMILY IN JESUS NAME
